PAINTING-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 348,535, dated August 31, 1886.

Application liled March 16, 1895.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, (hmnnns AN'roNo- VITSOH RosENiBLA'rT, a subject of the Czar of Russia, and residing in Smolensk, Russia,

5 have invented certain Improvements in Apparatus for Coating Suspended Telegraph and other WVires with Paint or Compounds in general, of which the following is a specification.

The invention has for its object an apparatus destined for coating on the spot suspended telegraph or other wires with paint or any other protecting or insulating compound.

In the annexed drawings, Figure showsa longitudinal section of the apparatus; Fig. 2,

I 5 a top view thereof, with the upper part thrown back (opened) Figs. 3 and 4. are transverse vertical sections on the lines 1 1. and 2 2, Fig. 1.

This apparatus is composed of two parts the top part, A, and the lower part, l-3- -connected with each other by means of the turningjointf, Figs. 3 and 4, so that the top part can be thrown back, as shown in Fig. 2. The top part, A, contains the reservoir G, Fig. 1, for the liquid paint or other compound with .which the wire is to be coated. This reservoir is provided with a lid, a, secured by hinges, a turn-slide, z, for the admission of air into the reservoir, and the aperture K, which may be opened by drawing out the slide Z, Figs. 1, 2, and 4.

In the upper, as well as in the lower, part of the apparatus are placed and screwed to its sides the half-tubes M, with cup-like recesses 1 N and O. In the rec ss 0 are sci; two hall'- 3 5 cylindrical brushes, R, made of hair or bristles,

which are to serve for painting or coating the wire. Of two other pairs of llat brushes, 1

and Q, the brushes I. serve to prevent the paint or coating from escaping to the outside 40 and the brushes Q for regularly distributing the paint or coating on the wire.

The upper part of the apparatus is provided with the guides S, wherein turn on axles the wooden or metal rollers or wheels T. The

5 lower part of the apparatus, illled with lead or provided with some other convenient weight, in order to give the apparatus greater stability, is supplied with a ring, a, for fastening a line, whereby the apparatus is drawn along the wire, and an orifice, o, shut by the slide b, and- Serial No. 158,992. (No model.)

serving for the issue of paint or other matter accumulating in the lower reservoir.

The action of this apparatus is as follows: The reservoir G- is filled with the paint or other matter to be employed for coating the wire. I-Iereupon a man, by a portable ladder placed against the telegraph pole, die, ascends to the wire, throws back the upper part of the apparatus, and, having placed the apparatus on the wire, connects the two parts A I and B by the lock X. Then he opens the slides t and i, and hands the line tied to the ring a to another man, who begins to draw the apparatus along the wire toward the next telegraph-pole, &c. The paint or other matter running through the orifice K fills the recess N, and thence arrives at the brushes R, thus covering the wire all round. The superfluous paint [lows by the tube M into the lower reservoir, H, and. the brushes Q regularly distribute the coating on the wire. These brushes can be arranged fixed or movable in a horizontal direction by means of screws w 10, Fig. 3, in order to be shifted in the measure as the hair or bristles of thebrushcs are worn. \Vhen I the apparatus reaches the insulator of the next telegraph-pole, &c., one of the men gets up to the insulator, paints the wire about the insulator with a hand-brush, and puts the apparatus on the wire from the other side of the I insulator for the purpose of coating the following interval, after pouring, if wanted, some more of the paint or other matter in the reservoir. The knots of the wire freely pass through the apparatus and become also successfully painted or coated.

The proposed apparatus permits painting the wires on the spot with great facility and cheapness or coating the same with some protecting or insulating matter. i

It is to be observed that painting telegraphwires or giving them a coat of a protecting or insulating matter is of very great importance, as it prevents their oxidation, moderates the influence exercised on the current by the atg mosphere, entirely removes the possibility of by-currents appearing in damp weather, and prevents any interruption of the telegraphs action through accidental communication between the wires.

In order to obtain a complete insulation of e conducting-wires by painting or coating .em, it is useful to wrap round the wire near ie insulator some stuff saturated with paint .the coating matter, and thereon fasten the ires, fixing the conductor to the insulator.

It is obvious that the details of construcon of this apparatus can be varied without aanging anything essential in the present inention.

What I claim, ars Patent, is-

and desire to secure by Let- 1. The herein-described apparatus for coat- :ig suspended telegraph-wires, said apparaus comprising two parts hinged together and arrying a liquid-reservoir and coating deices, the two'parts being adapted to be seprated to be applied to the wires and closed n the wires after separation.

.2. The herein-described apparatus for coatng suspended telegraph-wires, said apparaus comprising two parts hinged together, the ipper part containing a liquid-receptacle and )rushes and the lower part also carrying )rushes.

8. The herein-described apparatus for coat- G, tube M, and coating-brushes with an over-' flow-receptacle, H.

7. The combination of the case and liquid reservor G and coating brushes with laterally-adjustable brushes Q.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two sub scribing witnesses.
